Chapter 2

Infertile

I squeezed my eyes shut. At this moment, my feelings for Jessica gradually faded away.

By the time three tubes of blood had been drawn from me, I was already lightheaded. Still, Jessica clutched my arm and asked anxiously, "Doctor, since the baby is losing so much blood, shouldn't you take a few more tubes?"

The doctor quickly shook his head and replied, "Madam, we can't do that. Mr. Miller will die if we continue to draw his blood.

Even so, Jessica extended my arm upward without hesitation.

Ultimately, I was forced to have two more tubes of blood drawn. As a result, I collapsed to the ground due to excessive blood loss.

A look of distress flickered across Jessica's eyes as she reached out, trying to help me up.

But the next second, Callum called her name frantically from inside the ward. Without hesitation, she turned and left.

After the transfusion, I was chained beneath Isabella's hospital bed, utterly humiliated and stripped of all dignity.

Molly Spencer, Jessica's mother, glared at me. Seeing that I was awake, she abruptly slapped me hard across the face. "You son of a bitch! I definitely made the right decision not to let you be with Jessica back then! How could you harm a baby like that?"

Since I was already weak, I felt as if I were at death's door when Jessica's parents beat me. Meanwhile, Jessica just stood by and watched. Her eyes, which originally had been full of love, were now only filled with indifference.

"Eric, this is what you deserve!" Thomas Burke, Jessica's father, sneered and kicked me in the groin.

At once, I felt a sharp pain in my lower body and screamed in agony.

In the last moment before I closed my eyes, I saw Jessica running anxiously toward me.

When I woke up again, I heard Jessica's voice before I even opened my eyes.

"Maybe it's for the best that he can't have children anymore. If Eric could hurt Isabella before having a child of his own, who knows what he would do if he really became a father?" she remarked.

She paused before continuing coldly, "Besides, my mother would never acknowledge Eric's child anyway. The heir of the Burke family will only be Callum's child."

A tear silently rolled down my cheek as I wondered if Jessica ever truly loved me.

I opened my eyes only after the footsteps had faded away. My hand trembled as I touched the stitched wound on my lower body.

Just then, Callum walked into the ward. He sneered upon seeing my weak state.

"Eric, you're neither male nor female now. Plus, you don't even have a child of your own. So, does that mean we should start calling you an old bachelor now?"

After he finished saying these words, he burst into laughter.

With my last bit of strength, I smashed the IV bottle against him.

However, Callum wasn't angry at all. Instead, he deliberately fell to the ground.

The next second, Jessica slapped me hard across the face, and I vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Eric! What are you doing?"

In a tearful tone, Callum explained aggrievedly, "Jess, please don't hit Eric. I only came in because I wanted to thank him for donating blood to Isabella…"

He sniffled before adding, "But he probably thought I was provoking him and attacked me without warning. It was my fault."

Jessica cast me a look of sheer disappointment before helping Callum up.

"Eric, I never imagined you would become such a vile person. You really are nothing like Callum. Maybe I should have listened to my mother back then."

With that, she turned around and left without hesitation.

Looking at Callum's smug expression, I laughed until tears filled my eyes.

Jessica was not the only one who had made the wrong choice. I had too.
